Otis White<p>Winston Churchill was fond of saying that “democracy is the worst form of gov’t, except for all the others.” This also applies to representative democracy, which involves letting governors and legislators come up with answers to problems. Until you’ve lived in a state like CA, made into a disaster by initiatives, you cannot appreciate the value of letting the pros make the decisions. <a href="https://www.sfchronicle.com/opinion/openforum/article/california-budget-newsom-19474931.php" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">sfchronicle.com/opinion/openfo</span><span class="invisible">rum/article/california-budget-newsom-19474931.php</span></a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/stategov" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>stategov</span></a></p>
